Re: WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Typhoon
Does it look like it's taking on dry air to anyone else? Wondering if what happened to Ma-On could end up happening here...

I think so. Songda, the typhoon that hit a few months ago, was a great wakeup for everyone about what happens when you take the "It's not going to hit us" mentality to the extreme and make NO preparations. Yesterday, you wouldn't have even known a typhoon was coming. Monday, the start of the work week and everyone going back to work, word spread fast. Now, EVERYONE is talking about this typhoon and preparing. Except for the locals, of course. I'd imagine I'll probably see them starting their clean-ups tomorrow if everything is still on track.
That said, I don't know if it's looking all that great, right now. Wonder if she's going to recover from that EWRC?

Looks like the inner core has been badly weakened by events of the last 36hrs. Its pretty interesting to see just how strong it was for a brief while b ut it went down as fast as it went up...classic reaction of a system with a tiny core.

Re: WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Typhoon
Overall it seems the presentation is starting to look a little better near the centre on MTSAT IR imagery.
I see some of the models are doing silly things with Muifa:

Wow...
I've never ever seenthe ECM go that strong for a system before, 899mbs for a global models is insane.
Pretty unlikely but that really would be shocking if it even came close.

Re: WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Typhoon
Definitely looking better than it did an hour ago! Will have to see how it holds out overnight and if she bombs again.

I agree especially given the latitude and proximity to Chinese coast. It's still interesting to track and save those insane charts though but for the sake of Okinawa and Zhejiang Province I hope it doesn't verify!

Re: WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Typhoon
I'm giving this system one more shot before it makes landfall to a large mass of land. It would still linger in the sea for some time and will be having time to finish the EWRC successfully. I'm thinking that this could bomb as it passes Okinawa...or maybe after it passes through the island. Presentation looks quite better than it was hours ago but it still needs to work on many things if it still wants to strengthen further.

I agree Dexter - ECM certainly showing significant intensification near Okinawa over the last couple of runs so it's definitely worth paying real close attention to. Will be interesting to see what we all wake up to tomorrow morning!

if that were to come true, 899 mb off the chinese coast near shanghai is a nightmare!

Re: WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Typhoon
It is now starting from scratch to rebuild a decent eye...and I'm expecting a wider and more intense one...
If it verifies, it would be fascinating for the observers like us but nasty for those along its path.

Re: WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Typhoon
I noticed this earlier today and held my tongue on it as I was not 100% sure, but I think the ridge over china is holding on and will keep Okinawa in a better position compared to the storm. noting the most recent model runs below. and also the stream line analysis with a anticyclone over the East China Sea.


Anyone else notice this?

You used the wrong level.
Now, it should use this one.

Something of a spread there on the models, some heading NW, some others go to the North/NNE...
Wonder if the ECM will go as agressive as it did on its 00z run.
